Delayed ejaculation

It’s a condition that may seem less prevalent, impacting around 3% of sexually active men. However, its influence on sexual health and relationships can be significant. The aetiology of this condition is diverse and often complex, involving psychological, organic, and pharmacological factors. Psychological factors can include mental stress, anxiety, or other emotional issues. Organic causes may span spinal cord injuries or nerve damage that directly affect the body’s sexual response. Pharmacological factors often involve the use of certain medications such as antidepressants, antihypertensive drugs, or antipsychotics, which can interfere with normal sexual function.

Addressing delayed ejaculation requires a comprehensive approach. Management primarily involves psychological interventions aimed at resolving underlying emotional or psychological issues. Pharmacotherapy can also play a vital role, especially in cases where the condition is linked to other health issues or medication side effects. In the face of delayed ejaculation, we’re not just treating a physical symptom – we’re addressing a complex interplay of physical, psychological, and pharmacological factors, with a commitment to restoring sexual health and improving quality of life.
